I've bought plants here that quickly died despite appropriate care, and the store wouldn't replace them. Sometimes what is available in store already looks half dead. They are also very picky about what you can use store credit for on the few items that are covered under their guarantees. I have a really hard time finding what I need due to the compact layout and lack of much signage. Employees are usually friendly and helpful but it can be hard to find one who is available. Even though it's a much longer drive, I usually go to Bachmann's instead to spend less and enjoy an easier experience plus worry-free guarantees.

I wasn't expecting the community collaboration that showcased local vendors and information about them which I loved dearly. The plants were placed in a manner that was fun to browse and find, and the pricing was fair. What made me really see this place stand out was the service I received from start to finish. I was warmly greeted, the door was opened for me and I was asked right away if there was anything I needed help with. In addition, they included that any question is welcomed and not to be afraid to ask. No matter if you're a beginner or an expert in the plant community, there's so much to learn and feeling the welcoming environment made it so much more enjoyable to browse and shop. If you're thinking of stopping in, I would recommend it!
